FYI: As is my policy, I will wait to give a full report on the "transcrpt" events of the morning . . . . too many claims to "facts" at this point, too many to sort through. Here is what we know at this moment:

Update:  according to Bret Baier (Fox News)  we now know more than what was known by the whistleblower.  

FYI: As is my policy,  I will wait to give a full report on the "transcript" events of the morning  . . . .   too many claims to "facts" at this point,  too many to sort through.

Suffice it to say that there was no quid pro quo requests/demands from the President as there was in the Biden statement ("fire the prosecutor or we will withhold 1.2 billion dollars in federal aid to Ukraine").

We also know that the manuscript/transcript was the end result of 4 or 5 Intel agents and their transcriptions as the phone call was taking place, not the result of listening to a recording of the phone call.  Turns out that recordings are not made of such international conversations  . . . .   true for all Presidents.

It will be soon forgotten,  but the concern of the Inspector General as parroted by the Dems,  was based on the transcription process as represented in this post.  No one listend to or complained about the phone call to Ukraine based on a recording of said phone call and "no one" includes the I.G. andor any Democrat opponent of the President.

I doubt that I will add to this post before tomorrow or the following day  ~  editor

Exactly what we need . . . . a fully grown third grader for president.

BIDEN: I’ll Challenge Trump To Do Push-Ups On Stage!

Biden will live to regret his most preposterous lie to date:

“I’m incredibly proud to have served with him,” Biden said. “The thing I’m proudest of is we were each in a different part of the country and we were each talking to groups of people that were being televised. Purely coincidentally we said the same thing. We were asked what are you proudest of from your administration? You know what I said — he said the same thing as I did. No one single whisper of scandal. That’s because of Barack Obama.”  ~ Joe the Blow Biden.

Editor:  Barack was the first to tell this outrageous lie.  It ignores or pretends these events never happened:  

Attorney General Holder cited on a criminal complaint for ignoring a congressional subpoena.

Barack's Administration sold 2200 guns and rifles to the various members of the Mexican Cartel in an effort to frame the NRA for illegal gun sales,  guns used to kill more than 300 Mexicans and two Federal border agents.  The reader knows this event as "Fast and Furious."  

Then there was the as Benghazi cover-up and the event that saw four Americans murdered in Benghazi.  Our Ambassador to Libya was one of the victims.  Before his murder,  he was raped a number of times.  Two of our Embassy guards fought the enemy for nearly seven hours,  not know that Obama had given them up ,  gone to bed five hours before they were killed and went to Nevada on a campaign swing.  

Joe Biden announced that Seal Team Six was responsible for killing Osama bin Laden 12 weeks before the Taliban shot down a helicopter carrying 30 members of the Seal Team.  To make matters worse,  Barack would not allow an air-defense of the chopter as it came under fire.  I don't call this a "scandal,"  I call it murder.  

Then,  there was the IRS scandal that shut down more than 300 conservative groups seeking status to receive donations for the 2012 election cycle.   

Just for the record, Biden is caught making up stuff, again. This time he claims a chairmanship that wasn't, and ground breaking support putting Poland into NATO . . . . that wasn't.

<<< He is looking more his age and he still thinks he is qualified to be president.  

Bloomberg:

Vice President Joe Biden wandered a little off course on a trip down memory lane today.

“Fifteen years ago, I was honored, as the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, to lead the fight for Poland’s admission into NATO,” Biden said in Warsaw during a visit designed to reassure America’s Eastern European allies in the wake of Russia’s move to take control of Crimea.

The only problem: Biden wasn’t chairman back then.

It was Sen. Jesse Helms, a North Carolina Republican, who guided the committee and launched the floor debate on granting NATO accession to Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Biden did lead minority Democrats in approving the treaty resolution, after having initially expressed doubts about the political viability of expanding NATO.

“If we are really going to alienate the Russians,” Biden asked in January 1997, according to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, “what are we going to get for it?”

Biden went on to make the point that it needed more public discourse — which it got before he signed on — to have any chance of winning popular support.

“Right now, if I stand up and start talking with my constituents about the price, if I tell them, ‘We are about to extend our nuclear umbrella to Slovakia,’ I wonder how many people in Dagsboro, Del., are going to say, ‘Hey, that’s a great idea.’”
